Has anyone customised a Harris Pole to their own specific size. Not extending it, but cutting down the sections to make it shorter. Been in B&Q for some bits and bobs today couldn't resist and had to pick one up to have a play with. But looking to make it shorter sections. around 3 x 4ft.
Anyone done this and how did hey go about it?

take it apart, cut sections put it back together
-
How do you remove the sections Ian. Do they just pull out once unscrewed.
-
just undo the top of the twist lock and pull out the section,
-
Not having any luck doing this. Have they change them recently? There seems to be a ridge or lip on the base of each section preventing it from coming out of the plastic holder on each section. Does it just need a good Pull :o
-
yes, well i did with mine, the jaws just open more, or twist it out
-
hacksaw cut it to any size u want. or just get smaller pole.
-
they sell a 2m and a 3m pole so cannot see the point of all the hassle. ;D ;D
invent a gutter vac for 100 quid instead please. ;D
-
yeah, go back and get the yellow one, with the red button on the clamp, about 5ft closed maybe less
-
All done ;D Just needed a good pull. :)
I have the yellow one, I use it for gutter cleaning with the scoop on the end. The smaller harris poles I wouldn't think they would be up to the job.
Made a nice compact pole today from the 5m Harris for Con Roof cleaning. My old extender pole was pretty worn and didn't want to pay £60 ish for a GXTEL 2 section pole.
